UFC Moves to FOX

1 of 6

UFC on FOX: The UFC heavyweight title will be up for grabs at the first UFC on FOX main event. Personally, I was hoping for GSP vs Stewie Griffin.

Rocky VII

2 of 6

Rocky VII: Sylvester Stallone is considering doing another Rocky movie. In the newest film Rocky will fight his toughest opponent yet, his enlarged prostate.

Ted Williams' Stamp

3 of 6

Ted Williams Goes Postal: The Boston Red Sox great is to be honored on a postal stamp. Do you know the difference between a Ted stamp and a stamp honoring Giants' reliever Brian Wilson? After licking the Brian Wilson stamp, it licks you back.

Olympic Bids

4 of 6

Olympic Bid Fever: The United States decides not to enter a bid for the 2020 summer Olympics. Many Americans would agree. Why pump billions of tax dollars into a pipe dream that is most likely not to succeed? After all, we already have the President's stimulus package for that.

Michael Vick's New Contract

5 of 6

Vick’s Contract Victory: Michael Vick signs a 6-year, $100 million dollar contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. To quantify that amount, if one bowl of dog food represents one dollar, then you would be able to stretch a line of dog food bowls all the way from Philly to Atlanta.

Labor Day

6 of 6

Labor Day Weekend: Due to labor disputes that caused the NFL lockout, and the NBA lockout, this holiday weekend should be renamed something that all sports fans can relate to. Have a Happy Greed Weekend.
